I woke up this morning thinking about a look with soft orange eyes and bright pink lips. Maybe because I wanted to use my Rubenesque Paint Pot by MAC.
I got it ages ago and hardly ever use it as it doesn't really suit my colouring - it's a pearlescent orange/peach that looks amazing on green eyes. That said, I felt I had to use it as it was just staring at me from my kit bag. MAC Paint Pots are creamy but dry to a powder finish. They're high in pigment so can be a great base to start off an eye look. They won't budge or crease so you don't need an eyelid primer underneath.
I didn't want to do a heavy orange look, I tried it a few weeks ago and it was a disaster! So, I kept the eyes quite light with a wash of Rubenesque, some contouring in the crease for depth and then lined my top & bottom lashes with a dark brown eyeshadow using an angled brush. I used shadow rather than gel/ liquid eyeliner as I wanted a softer, more natural look.
Then I went for bright pink lips. What do you think? I like it, I think. Looks like a softer, more daytime version of my Leigh Lezarck look.

of me today BTW - I look half asleep because my toddler has started
waking at 2am and crying for the rest of the night. Here's hoping she
sleeps through tonight!
